Banned Video

I think everyone should see this video by Mark Driscoll on Church Planting. Because Bill Hybels disapproved of it's not mentioning Women as church planters, it was not distributed to church planters at a conference in Florida. If you want to see what it means to plant churches and be faithful to God... check this out!

Persecution in India

Many of you know that I had the priviledge of spending six months in India working with a ministry training young men to be pastors and church planters in their rural villages. Since returning home, Katie and I have had the priviledge of supporting one of my students. I received an email today saying that he experienced severe persecution for taking a stand for their faith in the midst of a Hindu Festival. Please pray for them as you read this... I have changed the names to protect them should anyone desire to use this for hindrance of the work of the ministry. Praise God that He has been sufficient for them during this time!

Dear Scott & Katty,

our Risen Saviour!

Thank u for ur mail to A____. u two have

S___ & his family went through a difficult time last year in the month of
October. PEOPLE FROM OTHER FAITH came to their village and beat them up
for not co-operating with them during their
festival time. His parents were beaten up. His wife who was in family way was
not speared. Due to the beating she lost her child. But the Lord was with them
and the remaind faithful to Him. Continue to uphold him in your prayers.
